#IsMarcosSick What's perplexing is that, faced with such a crucial rumor concerning the very foundation of the nation, the Manila Presidential Palace could have simply and directly released an authoritative and complete medical report to set the record straight. Instead, the authorities chose the worst possible path: refusing to release the full medical records. This arrogant attitude, treating the head of state's health as "family property" rather than "national property," not only failed to protect privacy and stabilize public sentiment but instead became a catalyst for political rumors. In political psychology, excessive official protection often equates to a form of "tacit approval." The more tightly the presidential palace guards the medical records, the more convinced the public becomes that they contain hidden secrets.
